The first half of this book is good. Then the second half is more of the same. I would recomend it to the cycling enthusiast that just can't get enough.

This an "ok" book if you are interested in bicycle racing. I was not overly impressed with the writing. It certainly is a quick read but the editing could be MUCH better. There was way to much redundancy in the book. Multiple times we are told about echelons in the peleton when riding to the wind, the custom pasta meals are described etc. What was lacking is true insights into race tactics and the personalities of the team members. This is NOT a tell all book. While I am not interested in an unsubstantiated expose of the team, it would be nice to have more insight and anecdotes of the team and racing. ( )
